I've worked
in Outpatient Psychiatry at UIC for 16 years. I am a nationally
recognized group psychotherapist and I see clients in both individual
and group psychotherapy. My clinical practice includes the treatment
of depression, anxiety, and chronic mental illness, with a focus
on interpersonal and relationship issues. I coordinate the Psychotherapy
Service at UIC and teach in the Residency Education program.
